An educational game includes a controller and a computer to operate software; a game board, having a first transparent layer with slots arranged in a grid; a second layer housing a plurality of LEDs; a third layer housing the controller and computer; and an activation button; blocks to engage with the slots, each of the blocks having an encoding on a bottom surface; the blocks represent circuit elements and the slots represent electrically active slots for the circuit elements, thereby forming a circuit; the blocks allow a user to create a user modeled circuit; and the computer creates the user modeled circuit and analyzes the user modeled circuit to create a visualization feedback associated with the user modeled circuit, the visual feedback providing one or more unique LED patterns and one or more LED brightness variables to symbolize current flow and power intensity.

An apparatus, which is configured for external operation of a computer program or application installed into a computerized device, includes a reader tray and a plurality of tag modules. The reader tray, having a plurality of identification areas, includes a reader module and a communication module for communicatively connecting to the computerized device that stores and executes the computer program or application. Each of the tag modules stores one or more predetermined tag information, wherein when the tag modules are selectively placed on the identification areas, the reader module reads the tag information of the tag modules to generate an output signal in response to a location sequence of the tag modules for operating the computer program or application through the communication module.

Techniques and systems for immersive interactions are provided. A first smart device available for interaction is identified by an interactivity system. A first physical game piece is detected by the interactivity system, and a first identifier of the first physical game piece is received, from the first physical game piece, via one or more wireless signals. A first set of predefined effects that can be performed using the first smart device is identified based on the first identifier. The first smart device is instructed to perform at least a first predefined effect of the first set of predefined effects.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an apparatus and method for playing modified chess game. The apparatus includes an expandable game to operate between a conventional mode and a powered mode. The apparatus further includes two sets of playing pieces, visually distinguished from each other are configured to operate in the conventional mode. The at least two bishops, the at least two knights, the at least two rooks, and the at least eight pawns of at least one set of the two sets of playing pieces are provided with a toggle switch. The toggle switch is adapted to form corresponding powered playing pieces during the modified chess game. The powered playing pieces are operated based on a set of powered rules. The apparatus further includes a power zone provided on a portion of the expandable game board to regulate movement of the powered playing pieces in the powered mode.

A game board device is provided for carrying and identifying game pieces that are divided into different piece types. The game board device includes a board, a plurality of optically identifying modules, and a processing module electrically coupled to the optically identifying modules. The optically identifying modules respectively correspond in position to detection regions of the board. Each of the optically identifying modules includes a light emitter that can emit light toward the corresponding detection region and a light receiver that can receive light reflected by the corresponding detection region. When any one of the detection regions is in an unoccupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module can emit an unoccupied signal. When any one of the detection regions is in an occupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module enables an identification signal that corresponds to the piece type of the corresponding game piece to be emitted therefrom.

A gamebook with a spinner mechanic is provided that allows a player to enact an interactive activity such as but not limited to dungeon exploration, art creation, board game, or maze. The gamebook provides the spinner mechanic under the activity sheets, with cutout sections enabling players to see and interact with the spinner on every sheet of the gamebook. Tabbed sheets may provide player instructions for activities, enabling complex activities and algorithms to be enacted in a gamebook medium. The gamebook may have pullout sections to track activity progress such as a pullout page that unfolds with progress trackers such as paperclips attached for further player interaction. This gamebook with a spinner mechanic may also be provided in a digital medium to enact the same interactive activity experience for players who do not have access to a physical gamebook.

A light-emitting toy assembly including a field generator that includes a first transmitting coil configured to inductively transmit energy and an object. The object includes a body, at least a part of which is translucent, at least one receiving coil configured to inductively receive energy from the first transmitting coil, and a lighting element having at least one light emitting diode that is configured to receive a current from a corresponding one of the at least one receiving coils. At least one of the first transmitting coil and the object is movable with respect to the other of the first transmitting coil and the object. A change in a rotational orientation of at least one of the first transmitting coil and the object alters a lighting state of the lighting element.

“MICROCONTROLLER-CONTROLLED ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL EFFECTS THROUGH THE CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF LIGHT AND SOUND” is an electronic device with a microcontroller that by controlling the brightness and color of RGB LEDs, which will illuminate the game surface, along with the an audio device control, such as an MP3 player, reproduces several special light and sound effects synchronically. In its complete version, it is comprised of a microcontroller, which controls four RGB LEDs and an MP3 player module connected to a memory, which generate the light and sound effects, synchronically. It also has a data communication module as well as an audio communication module, thus enabling the device in question to be utterly controlled by apps installed on mobile devices through a wireless connection.

The present application relates to a klotski game including a plurality of game pieces, a game board and a prompter. The plurality of game pieces includes a decisive game piece. The game board is configured to accommodate the plurality of game pieces and the game board is provided with an exit. The prompter is configured to indicate that a game of the klotski game is over when the decisive game piece is moved to a position corresponding to the exit on the game board.
